    Thank you belly button and Fizzbin (much appreciated)
    Correct answers (6 is the Cayman Islands)

    I was thinking - do you think 10 questions is too many? I thought about doing 5-7. I think it can get a bit too much. I'll do 5 later tonight, so please let me know during tonight's qn. Thank you all :)

    Hi quizmaster! Thanks for all your efforts, I love quizzes :)
    I suppose you could give a few less questions a go. I expect it is just a quiet phase at the moment, We will probably be fighting over them next week :)
